Leading with faith
Guided By Purpose
At the Catholic Youth Society, our leaders are dedicated to building a welcoming, vibrant, nationwide family where every young person feels known, supported, and valued. We believe that true leadership starts with serving others and walking together on the path to holiness. Inspired by the example of Saint Carlo Acutis, our team is passionate about mentoring youth, fostering deep friendships, and helping the next generation encounter the love of Christ in their daily lives.
Let no one have contempt for your youth, but set an example for those who believe, in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity.
-1 Timothy 4:12

We invite you to take this to prayer, ask God where He is calling you, and see if He might be asking you to take that next step.
